Florida A&M's recruiting philosophy under coach Joe Taylor has focused on local talent. In fact, 22 players - 17 from Tallahassee - listed on the Rattlers' current roster played high school football in the Big Bend.

Local prep coaches are hopeful that pipeline continues following Saturday's news of Taylor's announcement to retire at the conclusion of the season.
